(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So has any of you taken protein shakes?? what was your thoughts on them? and what ones did you use? I heard whey are the best.

I've bought creatine and whey, I'm going to hit the gym next week, I'll probably post a before and after.

Tried a free sample once, Hated the taste

protein shakes really do help to build muscle they just taste very nasty but before every football when I workout a lot I drink some but most of them make want to vomit

You should add fruit, milk and ice, then chug it

if your just a beginner at the gym, i wouldn't use supplements yet - you will rely on them too much.

Food is the best source of protein, tuna, white fish etc...

But if you'r set on protein shakes then get Gaspari Myofusion, tastes well especially Milk Chocalate flavour.

Ive tried them once or twice, didnt really like the taste of them

I've never been convinced of the need for a protein only shake. The reason that people put on 20 pounds etc in a few weeks is because a lot of them are filled out with sugars, it is not possible to add that much lean muscle in that amount of time. A healthy diet will give you most of the protein you need for a regular workout.

The only people who really need vast amounts of protein are those who take steroids as they increase protein synthesis. Taking roids though is NOT a good idea, especially if you are young and new to training.

I have always prefered a general supplement like Reflex - One Stop. Its good value and contains a good mix of protein,carbs vitamins etc...
From time to time I'll take dessicated liver as well.
Steer clear of Maximuscle as it is over priced.

If you are taking Creatine, understand what it does. It helps with muscle contraction and repair. It also draws water into the muscle cells and gives you a more "pumped" appearance. This should increase your strength and endurance. It is not in itself a "muscle builder".

It definately works as whenever I have used it it does increase my re ps count and max lift.
Follow the instructions though and follow the loading regime for the first week. Take it for a couple of months and then have a break. They are still not sure of continuous long term usage..
Don't believe the "instant" creatine serums as they don't work..

One last thing, if you're up for it, try some Nitic Oxide, its a blood booster that gives you a huge pump. Excellent for getting a vascular look, and as its one of the main ingredients of Viagra, it has some quite handy side effects

I had a little carton of metrx or something once just to see what it was like... it tasted very very nice!

However I heard that these make you fat in later life, the muscle gained from the excess protein turns to fat apparently...

They give you atomic farts, thats for sure.
